CONCORD, N.H. -- The New Hampshire House has approved a bill to strengthen legal protections for religious organizations related to same-sex marriage, and the governor says he will sign same-sex marriage into law.
The House approved the measure on a vote of 198-176. Supporters of same-sex marriage erupted in cheers and applause as the total was announced.
Gov. John Lynch announced that he would sign the same-sex marriage bill into law on Wednesday evening.
The House vote followed the Senate approving the bill on a 14-10 party-line vote.

You can bet I'm going to redouble my efforts to throw the Democrats out once and for all when next year's elections come about. You taking note of this, Sununu? You hear that noise? That's 1.4 million pissed off people who you could take and turn this state BACK into a strong Republican state if you'll get off your dead ass.
